The month that we are born can say a lot about who we were destined to be when we were born. Determining a person¢s character using the birth month is also a standard practice in numerology. Scientists and statisticians have found that birth months affect everything from chosen career to attitude. For instance, babies born in July are generally more optimistic through life. They¢re also more likely to have vision problems. Let¢s explore more?

Your birth month affects your life

?The month in which you are born can affect life chances, but how long you live, how tall you are, how well you do at school, your body mass index as an adult, your morning-versus-evening preference and how likely you are to develop a range of diseases are all correlated to some extent with the time of year in which you emerge from the womb,? asserts Russell Foster, an Oxford University scientist.

If you were born in January

If you were born in January, you are ruled by the number 1. You are independent, analytic, and a born leader. You need to stand out from the crowd and are known for your creativity, ingenuity, and ability to make things happen. People naturally follow you without question because you are so charismatic. Males will play a greater role than females in helping you find success in life. Chances are you will lead a more traditional life than others.

Personality traits of people born in January

Stubborn. Ambitious and serious. Loves to teach and be taught. Never looks at people¢s flaws or weaknesses. Hardworking and productive. Smart, neat and organized. Sensitive and has deep thoughts. Knows how to make others happy. Quiet unless excited or tense. Rather reserved. Highly attentive. Resistant to illnesses but prone to colds. Loving and loyal. Loves children. Has great social abilities. Money cautious, can budget successfully.

What scientists say:

People born in January are statistically more likely to have Alzheimer¢s, Crohn¢s Disease and epilepsy. Scientists have theorized this is because they¢re exposed to less sunlight in the womb and in the first months of their life. This could hinder development on some level and make them more susceptible to the diseases.

If you were born in February

If you were born in February, the number 2 influences you. You are especially empathic and psychic. A relationship means all to you and you will spend a lot of your life searching for that special someone. Women tend to shape and mold your fate, especially in the early years. You are also voted most likely to become codependent or depressed if you do not find that special someone to love. It may be difficult for you to be self sufficient. People born in February enjoy caring for others and also make great parents.

February babies are likely to grow up to be artists. They are also more prone to sleep disorders. This is because babies born this month prefer the evening hours as a result of lack of exposure to sunlight in the womb in their first months. A 9 to 5 job might not be for them.

If you were born in March

If you were born in March, the number 3 is an influence. You often find yourself in the right place at the right time. You may also be destined for fame. You have an ability to make a lot of money, but also lose it just as quickly. It may be for you to hold onto a relationship because you are prone to being unfaithful. You are also more prone to addiction and vices than those born in other months. You have a tendency to never grow up, but that is partly makes you so lovable.

People born in March are more likely to get asthma. Scientists believe this is because the mothers are deprived of vitamin D, which is activated by sunlight, in the womb, hindering respiratory development. Lack of vitamin D could also hurt brain development and these children aren¢t as likely to do well in school. They¢re more likely to pursue an unconventional career, such as an artist.

If you were born in April

If you were born in April, you are influenced by the number 4. You may be perceived as being stubborn, bossy, and impulsive. On the other hand, you are also very creative, and intelligent.

What scientists say:

Babies born in April are most likely to become alcoholics. Again, lack of sunlight in the womb is blamed, especially for those in Northern Hemispheres.

In addition to alcoholism, they¢re susceptible to the highest levels of autism, depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Still, you may have an exaggerated need for solitude every now and then. Time spent alone in nature is very good for helping you find your balance.

People born in May are susceptible to diabetes and glaucoma. Scientists believe this has to do with sunlight exposure during pregnancy. Being deprived of sunlight during certain months interferes with different stages of development in the womb, said Russell Foster, a scientist at Oxford University. They also have consistently lower IQs for this reason, he said.

You do not like children, but older relatives in your family mean a lot to you.

June has the highest number of Nobel Prize winners and CEO¢s. June babies finally catch a break because they receive more exposure to sunlight in womb and after birth.
